You had someone on recently stating the opposite - would love to see a debate based on real historic figures in different situations.

1. Buy your home, don’t rent 2. Invest automatically in an index fund. 3. Save the first hour of your work to invest 4. Don’t be in credit card debt And a few other things. Saved you 2 hours.

I love that this episode directly challenges the "renting is better" trend we've been hearing lately. The point he makes about homeownership being "forced savings" is the missing link in that debate. If you don't buy a house, you have to be disciplined enough to invest the difference... and most of us just spend it.

I’ve never commented on videos before, and my social media presence is almost zero. But after watching this, I couldn’t leave without saying something. This might be the first time I’ve watched a 1 hour and 49 minute video—without pausing—that wasn’t a movie. I could keep listening because it’s so clear that he’s genuinely here to help people. I wish him good health and happiness. Thank you for sharing all this knowledge. And thank you, Steven, for all your videos—especially this one.

now I've hit $180,590. I was having this exact conversation with my son the other night-generational wealth isn't just about getting money. It's about teaching everyone not only how to make it, but also how to maintain it. It does no good for me to provide for my family if they don't understand how to manage and sustain it.
